Cold and misty! Here, in England, it is warm and sunny. Couldn't resist. It's not often we get the chance!
Rhodesians never die
Another great history lesson! Looking forward to the next one :)
An amateur military historian myself, I must tell you that I have never enjoyed listening to a lecturer more than I have enjoyed listening to you. You have a marvelous gift and I sincerely hope you will present many, many more lectures on Rhodesian and Rhodesian military history. You are doing your native land a great service in the face of a world that was, and is, hostile to everything you stand for and will never acknowledge that black Africans of our era simply did not have the capability to either create or maintain a functioning, modern state in democratic form. Everything the Rhodesian predicted for Zimbabwe happened and still the world refuses to condemn the disastrous and murderous regime(s), insisting that truly horrendous conditions for all citizens, black and white, were and are somehow preferable to life in a well managed, economically robust land under traditional tribal custom and white leadership with increasing numbers of educated blacks participating in the democratic process.
My Father was born in Bulawayo in 1912 when it was a village. They lived on a plot outside the Village. That spot is now in the Middle of the City
Peter Betts. It was amazing how quickly that city grew to become the industrial heart of Rhodesia. Great place...thanks for the comment.
Gifted story-teller, bringing our history to life
You exemplify what people loved about Rhodesia - The quality in character of all Rhodesians.
Kind of looks like you properly fold that flag after every video.......... Is very prim and proper soldier......... Yesterday I took a long road trip in the state of Arizona USA and I seen a lot of Americans putting their flags out it's flags out....... Every time I see an American Flag I knew it stood for the goodness and righteousness of Christian judao It warmed my heart and I thought at least a 150 million Americans have not lost their mind.... Is God-bless America and the flag of the United States
I'm originally from Chicago, Illinois, USA, and I happen to find these accounts fascinating, thrilling and absorbing, really. Thank you so much, sir, for bringing your history to life for those of us who were born oceans away.
Greetings from England 🇬🇧
Dawson was guilty of gross negligence: idiot, however matters were already in hand to remedy the Matebele issue by the sounds of it. The Matabele, like the Zulu. had 'had their time in the sun', their 'sun' was on the wane. Iklwa vs Martin-Henry or Maxim? Iklwa loses. A fascinatingly interesting recount of this massive upheaval in Rhodesias' infant history, brilliantly told! End of King Lobengula's days, and the Impi ways; almost...............Looking forward to the next installment! Until such time, stay safe..
You Sir bring the history of our country to life. All the best to you.
Always a pleasure! And may God Bless you!
And again, thank you kind Sir.
These stories are golden. Thank you for the love and effort you put into these videos and allowing us to partake in keeping the memory of Rhodesia alive.
Enjoy the cool weather while you got it, tell more of Seilous
God bless you sir!
Good health to you and yours!
So delighted and grateful for this next upload! My friends and I are so thrilled this history is preserved and presented in such a relaxed, kindly, and thoughtful way!
We’re only in our 20s but because of you, these stories will not die but live within us - history, like books, allows us to chose companions who, though human in every sense, lived noble lives in accordance to their highest ideals. Thanks to channels like your one, you keep their legacy alive and prove that Rhodesians never die!
I know the next story but wow what a cliffhanger!
Can’t wait for the next episode.
Great work as per usual. One of those rare channels that makes a 50 minute video seem short!
Thank you. You are an excellent story teller, and what is being recorded is an account of history.
Sunday evening, end of the weekend, and a nice end watching 5RR before the morrow.
the time just flew bye.
Simply the best!

Greetings Martin .. awesome blog as always.. accurate as always. Interesting as always and always educational .. thanks for these stories .. god bless and keep well 🙏🏻
Martin, yesterday you were worried about making sure of facts, well you have done that. I suggested that if there was unsupported information, you could relate it with a proviso
My other favourite channel. Thank you.
Such engrossing story telling; I had to check the time when you said you were going to take a break and had spoken long enough.
Now I am going to have to wait till the next thrilling instalment.Take care yourself and thank you once again for fascinating history.
Polished and well researched Martin as always
Thank you for this series it's been so interesting 👍
Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you for your history lessons. Appreciate it greatly
Better lecturer than any of my college professors...
I really appreciate your videos they are very entertaining and I love to learn about the history of Rhodesia and the great ppl that lived there
Always enjoy these videos, thank you.
Damn this is ridiculous. I haven’t gotten notifications for six months and just realized you’ve been making videos. Glad to see you sir
I’m absolutely loving this series. Thank you for doing this.
love your work
Brilliant depiction of events thank you.
Great history telling, yet again Martin. Many thanks for bringing our history to Life. 👏👏
Thank you for these amazing videos sir, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ God Bless you!
Rhodesians Never Die
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
36:30 This reminds me of Luke 16:8, where Jesus mentions how the people of the world are more clever with money than people of light.
This was a good story.Im sorry you lost your country.Can you sometime tell us what was it like to leave Rhodesia behind and where you went first etc?
As a subscriber I have to search for your videos. Even when notifications are turned on. Odd.
Wats the story behind the bird on the coat of arms
Hey Lion.... the Rhodesian Coat of Arms included the Zimbabwe bird which is the bird to which you are referring. That image is an artist's impression derived from soapstone carvings found at The Great Zimbabwe Ruins more than one hundred years ago. The Zimbabwe bird was first included in the Southern Rhodesian Coat of Arms way back in 1924. As you may be aware it is also included in the Zimbabwe Coat of Arms.
Good Evening Sir... Is it indeed correct that Dawson was nicknamed "Chimsoro"...??? As it is indeed a fact that the Indabele language has no "R" and the Shona language has No "L".... Or maybe I am wrong....???
No you are absolutely right. It's "Jimsolo" not "Chimsoro."
@@TheMcraemer Good morning Sir.. Ahh. Noted.. Thank you for setting me right..
Thank you for the excellent story telling. I grew up in Umtali in the 60s and was given the nickname “jimsoro” by the cooks and gardeners who worked in our neighbourhood, most of them came from Mozabique. I was always quite proud of the fact that they’d call out “kunjan jimsoro” as I walked along the road. I believe it means literally “big head” do you know if this is correct?
@@billchapman6783 I lived in Umtali for part of the sixties. Fantastic place -open roads and fast motorbikes! Best days of my life! You are right - I think. "Chimsoro" means head. "Jimsolo," means something else, I'm afraid. James Dawson was known as "Jimmy" by the other whites in Bulawayo, and the corruption of this was "Jimsolo" in Sindebele. Great comment.
Going off alone to have lunch with a guy, leaving your king-given responsibility? Sounds like what two old gay friends would do... Dawson?
Great stories but just too far apart.
I wonder if having some more money would allow you dedicate yourself more or less full time to the history of rhodesia, if that would make a difference please let us know. There are many of us and just one of you so putting together a stipend for your work should not be too hard for us.
I said before but i will reiterate it:
You not only have good story telling ability but you are one of the few people left that can talk about Rhodesia as a primary source.
Not only that, you are also one of the few people that knows whom to contact to get more direct information if you happen to not know something about Rhodesia.
It is hard to say it but it won't be very long before several of your contacts and sources will no longer able to tell their stories, causing them to be lost to history or to be pieced together by marxist historians hellbent of portray Rhodesia and his white population as a bunch of barbaric colonizers as they are looking trough history trough political glasses. You are a rare person, i can't find another like you amongst the millions of content creators that populate CZcams.
